OXFORD, Ohio —
As strong storms blew through Butler County, winds tossed an airplane onto its head at the Miami University Airport.

No injuries were reported, and emergency crews are working to turn the plane upright and remove it.


Officials said that the pilot landed at the airport due to the storms. The plane flipped after the pilot safely exited.

Downed trees were also reported across the county.

Saw some video on tv but can't find it. This is all I can find on the net. I live south of Columbus, OH and we had 50 knot gusts from the storms.
 
So he flew so close to the storm he didn't have time to or didn't tie it down? Dumb.
